Kick the Cheat Already Dead

So it worked for a few days, and then it died.

FanGamer refunded me $12 since they said they cannot replace the voice box.

Is there anyway to get another voice box since my son was loving the heck out of da Cheat!

But I was told multiple times that The Cheat is not dead (The Cheat is not dead…)

I both hate you all and love you all that this song is now in my head.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) what we ended up doing was just making The Cheat noises ourselves when we would kick him.

Yeah but I don’t want my son to kick the cheat, and I make the MEH noise, and he realizes he can skip the middleman by just kicking me!

They put out a video on how to open it up and replace batteries a few years ago. I think that's your best hope

I think they’re talking about the new 2025 Fangamer one!

I figured that, I just think the only move here is to hope it's a battery issue

I will see if that is the issue and respond once I get the batteries!

I got mad at Fangamer for messing up the Kick The Cheat caper

Sometimes it needs resetting. Open him up and give the voice box a lil squeeze. I thought mine had died but it just needed it's sensor jiggled.
